The poll does assume that you do carry a phone on you when out in the wilderness, if for no other reason than having some option for communication in emergency situations even if there may be no obvious cell reception in the area (no reception at the access or fishing hole)
The poll also assumes you own a cell phone.

Okay, so the topic here is much broader than the poll.. Sparked by a thread where a few folks have indicated that having your phone on/using your phone "midstream" is some type of breach of etiquette...
For my part, I'll wholeheartedly agree that some clown upstream from me taking loudly (whether in a cell phone or not) is annoying... I'll also readily admit that I usually ignore "unimportant" phone calls while I'm fishing and I tend to keep my ringer on vibrate while in the trout park..
Otherwise, I'm a total tech-addict... The last time I went floating with Wrench I played Scrabble against my wife during our lunch break! lol
Granted, I have the phone with all the other stuff (camera, video camera,games, GPS with maps, loan calculators, links to my website and inventory, email, and I can even post a lunker video to YouTube or facebook)....
But even if I didn't have this phone or this job, I'd still have a basic phone for emergencies.. Wouldn't you?
